Hello there! Did you have a nice, long weekend? Here's another card made with the newest release from Purple Onion Designs. Super simple and easy to mass produce.
Take a closer look at the "grass". Nope, I didn't have to whip out my sewing machine--it's stamped!
It's from a Stitchery set by Sassafras that's probably discontinued because I can't link it anywhere.
I do hope another stamp company will produce some stamps with stitches. I especially like the "wonky" stitching and the fact lazy ol' me doesn't have to drag out her sewing machine.
And for another look at these amazing stamps, check out this blog post from my sweet friend Emily. She was the winner of my recent giveaway which included a set of the Stitchery stamps. Her card is amazing and even her hubby was impressed!
Rumor has it that I have another set of these fun stamps somewhere....can you say "giveaway"?? Stay tuned and wish me luck in finding them!
It's been a while since I've participated in One Layer Wednesday challenges. I was so surprised that it was already up to #55!
Challenge #55 is to create a one layer card and use a cat or dog image on your card. I've had several Paper Smooches stamp sets for a while now, still waiting to be inked.
I stamped the dog and sentiment from the Birthday Buddies set and colored the dog with Copics. To "ground" the pup, I stamped a (discontinued) ribbon stamp by Hero Arts. Done!
Here's a close up view of the stamped ribbon. Doesn't it look like real ribbon?
I'd forgotten how fun it is to create one layer cards--and they're quick, too. If you want to play along, you can find out about the challenge details here on Jennifer's blog.
Have a flip floppy summer!
If you love freebies, you should check out Tiffany Doodles' Freebie Thursdays. Each Thursday, Tiffany has a free digital stamp up for grabs for a short while and then it goes into her store.
This digi was a freebie a few weeks ago and I grabbed it right away. I flipped one of the images to get a reverse image before printing it on patterned paper.
I colored the straps and the bottoms with a Copic marker. I attached the image to a piece of corrugated paper that I swiped with some white pigment ink. The sentiment was handstamped with some alpha stamps. I added some sheer ribbon and buttons and the card was done.
This image is no longer a freebie but can be found here in the Tiffany Doodles store.
Thanks for visiting today. Hope you're having a great week!
Hello friends! I'd like to share a card that Michele shared on her blog, using the newest release by Stephanie Ackerman for Purple Onion Designs.
I combined the Bird House, plus the little birdie, with pennants from the Build a Banner set, and the cute Chick Sentiment. The background is stamped with Hero Arts Large Canvas Stripes. All the images were colored with Copics.
And I'm so excited that my good friend Alice has joined me on the Purple Onion Designs team! I know she's going to create amazing cards and it's going to be so much fun working with her!
Thanks for stopping by today...Hope you're all off to a great week!
Hello, friends! I want to share a matching envelope and card that I created for the latest Penny Black challenge.
First, the card. I stamped Amongst the Stars and colored the images with Copics. I used Reverse Wonky Rectangles to cut the card and the frame, which was stamped with Hero Arts Graph Background. The sentiment is from this Hero Arts set.
I added some Stickles to the largest star and a few drops on the background.
For the envelope, I stamped Mimi partially on the corner and colored her in the same colors as the card.
I cut a cloud template and sponged the sky, then ink distressed the edges. I'm not sure how the postal system feels about glitter, so I just dabbed a few stars with some Stickles and my matching envelope was done.
I'm going to test the postal system and mail this out to a little friend. I hope it reaches her....wish me luck!
Hi there! Have you met Fairy Klara? She's a digi created by my talented friend Jane. All proceeds from the sale of this adorable digi will go towards a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in honor of Caylin, the daughter of a sweet friend, Kristina Proffitt.
You can purchase Fairy Klara here, and also visit Caylin's Cure to see how you can donate and be eligible for prizes from some awesome sponsors!
Wouldn't she look great on a card from the tooth fairy? Or a birthday card, or even a friendship card for a little girl.
Please consider buying Fairy Klara to help support Caylin and other families dealing with juvenile diabetes.
Hello! Hope you all had a great weekend! I'd like to share another card using the new Home Sweet Home stamp set. This is a fun set with lots of images and sentiments, too.
My card uses the Reverse Wonky Rectangles die as the card base. I ink distressed with Walnut Stain and water splotched the top portion of the card.
The other pieces were stamped on patterned paper and ink distressed. The bird is from the Bird Cage set, colored with Copics. To finish the card, I added a bit of faux stitching around the edge.
Hello, friends! Thanks so much for dropping by! I wanted to share another card with Purple Onion Designs' newest release by Stephanie Ackerman.
Home Sweet Home arrived and I couldn't wait to try some paper piecing with this fun set. I pulled out the new Valise papers by Memory Box. It's a different look for Memory Box, and it's printed on kraft, so naturally, it was calling my name!
I stamped all the pieces on different sheets in the pack and assembled this little scene. I also used some washi tape from The Greeting Farm which fit perfectly as the ground and the colors matched, too. The background was stamped with Envelope Pattern from Hero Arts. I love how it gives the card some subtle texture.
Some pieces were raised on pop dots for dimension, and a bit of twine on the bottom was the finishing touch. There are several sentiments in this set. I think this card would be perfect for a housewarming, Father's Day, or just to say hello.
Hope you have a fun weekend, whatever you do!
The latest challenge at Hero Arts is Fabulous Flowers and ATCs, with a technique using colored pencils.
For my ATC, I stamped the bicycle and clear embossed it then ink distressed with some distress inks, then water splotched the sky. I punched out some mini flowers and added them to the basket, and stamped the sentiment after cutting it apart to fit.
The ATC looked a little lonely by itself, so I mounted it on a kraft card and then layered it on to some dark brown cardstock, both of which were stamped with Large Canvas Stripes. I used more of Kiara's pink seam binding for a scrunched bow. Now my ATC has a home.
To celebrate Tiddly Inks' birthday, they're having a Puzzler Adventure with lots of great prizes! Go here for all the details on how you can join the fun.
Christy has lots of new digis in her store, but her Hugg-a-Buggs are still near and dear to my heart. They're the first images I bought from her and I've been a "coloring friend" ever since.
Here's my card featuring Cherry Bugg, one of my all time faves. Don't you love those stacked cupcakes? Yum! I'll admit this is an older card that I've never shared on my blog before, but it's so appropriate for a birthday celebration.
I made the dotty background by clear embossing Hero Arts Cling Dots and ink distressed with Fired Brick distress inks. The image was colored with Copics and I added a few highlights with a white pigment pen.
Happy Birthday, Tiddly Inks! Here's to many more years of Tiddly Inkin' fun!
Lawnscaping Challenge #9 -- Let's Party!
Here's a closer look at one of the cards (made with salvaged pieces!) that I shared in yesterday's blog post. I'm also entering it in the party themed challenge at Lawnscaping.
I first stamped the background with Hero Arts' Large Canvas Stripes and used some Spellbinder Nestabilities to die cut the large and scallop circles for the base of the card. I just love the newest Lawn Fawn critters, especially the cute hedgehog, and decided she was the perfect size for a small card.
I reattached the pennant flags and gave the hedgie a little party hat from the Hats Off to You set. I used a salvaged cupcake and added a little candle from the Bake Me a Cake set. The sentiment is from Just My Type Too. Party on, hedgie!
I've been on such a kraft kick lately. Part of the reason is a dear friend gave me tons of it (Thanks, Phyllis!) since her niece was doing some housecleaning, and I just love the way colors pop against it.
You'll be seeing a lot more kraft because my Purple Onions order just arrived and I can't wait to share more cards with you.
Hello friends! Thought I'd share one of my favorite products and one that you should have right in front of you on your craft desk at all times: UN-DU. I ♥ this stuff!
I was introduced to UN-DU over 20 years ago at a Making Memories workshop. We scraped off photos from old photo albums so easily and there was no damage to the photo even if UN-DU dripped on it. Amazing stuff!
I've used UN-DU countless number of times to remove pieces from a card and still be able to salvage the card because the UN-DU just lifts it off. The adhesive stays tacky, too, so you can reuse the same piece again.
Here's an example of the amazing properties of UN-DU. After I finished making this card I thought it was waaaaaay too busy. I was trying to put too many elements on one card. Yikes!
So I pulled out the UN-DU and removed everything from the card and turned it into two cards which made me happy. I was glad that I was able to save the pennant banner, the cake, the cupcakes, and even the sentiment for the new banner. I couldn't have done it without the UN-DU. Magical stuff!
And on that note, I'm off to get another bottle of UN-DU with a 40% off coupon from my LSS.
I'd like to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all moms, anyone who's like a mom, and moms of furbabies, too!

This month's challenge at Tiffany Doodles is to use flowers on your card. Tiffany has TONS of flower digis on sale in her store, from magnolias to cherry blossoms to bluebells, all drawn realistically by Tiffany herself.
For my card, I chose to use a whimsical design and one of the "older" digital stamps--a topiary. I printed the digi three times and played with the size so the middle topiary would have more height than the other two.
I colored two sets of images with Copics and used pop dots to raise some of the tulips and the flowers for a bit of dimension. The background is Hero Arts Graph Background and the sentiment is computer generated.
I added a drop of Liquid Pearls in the center of each flower and the lovely seam binding was given to me by my dear friend Kiara. She created the sweetest shade of pink that was perfect for my card. Thank you, Kiara!
The challenge runs for two weeks and you don't have to use a Tiffany Doodles digital stamp--you can try and win some! Please visit the rest of the design team (see the list on my sidebar) for more inspiration.
Tiffany also has some great specials this month. First is a Mother's Day special from now through May 9th. Use the coupon code "mom" at the checkout.

Happy Aloha Friday! Just sharing a card using one of the newer stamps from The Greeting Farm--Surfer Anya. Isn't she a cutie? She and Surfer Ian are such a cute couple, too.
I colored her with Copics, trimmed her out and used some corrugated paper and kraft cardstock for a little beach scene. The background is Hero Arts' Raindrop Background, stamped with Frayed Burlap distress ink. The sun die is from My Favorite Things, and I added lots of buttons for color and fun. The sentiment was made with Harold's ABCs from Lawn Fawn.
The Greeting Farm is once again sponsoring Cards for a Cause for 2011. This year, cards are being sent to some students in Japan who could use some cheering up after the horrific earthquake/tsunami in March.
You can read about the card drive here. I'm planning to color a bunch of Surfer Anyas and Ians and spread some ALOHA all the way to Japan!
Thanks for visiting today! Please join me tomorrow for another Tiffany Doodles challenge.

Purple Onion's new stamp previews!
Hello! I hope you're all having a great weekend. I'm so excited to finally share some previews of the newest stamp release by the talented Stephanie Ackerman for Purple Onion Designs.
I just love her whimsical, homespun style and when Michele sent me the stamps, I knew what I wanted to do, and put my cards together so quickly. Such happy stamps!
I used Heart Flower and paired it with Flower Quotes for my shaped cards on kraft. The flowers were colored with Copics and attached with dimensional tape. I added a bit of Glossy Accents and Stickles to the hearts.
The backgrounds were stamped with Hero Arts Raindrop Background or Large Canvas Stripes. The "grass" was made with some paper scraps from my stash.
I love the sweet sentiments and Stephanie's playful, handwritten font. A bit of faux stitching around the edges and the cards were done. So quick and easy!
Want to see more stamp previews? Head over to Jenn's blog and see what my sweet friend has created.
And please visit Carly and Jennifer tomorrow for even more inspiration using the new images. All stamps will go on sale Tuesday, May 3rd in Purple Onion Designs' store.

Q: Message-completion results from a consumer back to a producer We are building an application with a microservice architecture.
The microservice architecture will follow a message-oriented pattern, with AWS SQS.
We would like to return completion results from the consumer service back to the producer service.
This is the algorithm we are considering:

*

*Producer creates a message with a unique id

*Producer subscribes to a Redis channel that is named with the message id

*Producer places the message onto the SQS queue

*Consumer removes the message from the SQS queue and performs an operation

*Consumer publishes the results of the operation to the Redis channel that is named with the message id

*Producer recieves the completion results and resumes execution

Is this a reasonable way to pass message-completion results from a consumer back to a producer?

A: After continued research, it became apparent that message queues are not part of the solution.  Point #5 in this article, "...or doesn't even care about the result..." suggests (by implication) that we are simply using the wrong approach.
We changed our design so that request ordering is not important, and will make direct calls to AWS Lambda functions using the invoke api.

The guide book for visitors touring through the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
"The world, I think, will wait a long time for Nikola Tesla's equal in achievement and imagination."
The exhibition of Tesla's creative work begins with his amazing "fairy tale of electricity" in which he with poetic inspiration shows how the human mind gradually grasped the secrets of electricity in the course of history. The "fairy tale" begins with the ancient Greek philosopher Thales from Miletus and with his meditations about the mysterious sparks which appear when rubbing amber (electron), up to contemporary researchers Gilbert, Franklin Galvani, Volta, Oersted, Faraday and Tesla.
The group of Tesla's patents from the field of generating, transmitting and using polyphase alternating currents from the period between 1887 and 1890, represents the foundation stone of the present-day electroenergetic epoch. These patents guarantee the discoveries of induction and synchronous motor, of the generator and transformer of polyphase alternating currents, of the ways of connecting the electric circuits and of various other inventions tn this field. The photograph and the working model illustrate Tesla's first induction motor for the two-phase alternating currents.

A Rocky Start: Chapter Four Continued
May 30, 2015 rosemaryheddens	Leave a comment
Saturday morning arrived at last, but Amber looked out her window at a sunless day. Clouds had moved in overnight and threatened to pour rain on her plans for the day. After breakfast, Amber made a quick phone call to Betty Jenkins to make sure the shuffleboard tournament was going to take place.
"Rain or shine," Betty assured her. "The shuffleboard courts are covered, so we'll stay dry. Anyway, I don't think it will rain until this evening."
Two hours later, Amber and her friends rode their bikes to the senior center. "Where's Mrs. Jenkins?" Melissa asked.
"She likes to be called Betty," Amber reminded her.
"Oh, I forgot. Well, is Betty here?"
"She's right over there. I think they are choosing up sides or something," Amber said.
Laura noticed a list of names posted on a wall. After looking down the list, she saw Betty Jenkins's name in the singles column.
"Do you know anything about shuffleboard?" Laura asked Amber.
"No, not really. Maybe Betty will have time to fill us in before the tournament starts."
"I can do that for you," said a little man wearing Bermuda shorts and a straw hat. "Name's Gus. And who would you lovely young ladies be?"
"I'm Amber, and these are my friends, Melissa and Laura. We're here for our friend Betty Jenkins, but we don't really know anything about shuffleboard. We won't even know when it's time to cheer for Betty."
"Well," Gus began, "if you take a look at the shuffleboard court, you'll see triangles at both ends. Each shooter uses a stick called a tang to push a disk called a biscuit to the triangle at the other end of the court. You can see the point values in the triangle. Landing in the smallest space earns ten points. There are two seven-point spaces and two eight-point spaces. If the biscuit lands completely inside one of those zones without touching any of the lines, the shooter scores that many points. It takes a score of seventy-five points to win. "
"That sounds pretty difficult," Laura observed.
"Believe me, it is. Even if the shooter manages to put the biscuit in a zone, the opponent has a chance to knock it out."
"Wow," Melissa said. "Is Betty Jenkins a good shuffleboard player?"
"One of the best," Gus told them.
"What is the ten-off space?" Amber asked.
"If the biscuit lands there, the shooter loses ten points."
"Oh, dear," Amber said, "I hope that doesn't happen to Betty."
"Even if it does," Melissa added, "we'll yell and cheer for her anyway."
"I wouldn't recommend that," Gus warned. "We take shuffleboard very seriously. You'll need to be quiet, just like the spectators at a golf tournament."
"Thanks for letting us know that," Laura said. "We wouldn't want to get Betty disqualified or something."
"You'll be fine," Gus assured them. "Just watch from over there." He pointed to some chairs along the sidelines. Most of them were already occupied. "You better find a seat, it looks like we're about ready to start."
The girls found some seats on the sideline. On the shuffleboard court, they noticed some boys lining up yellow and black disks in the ten-off spaces. "Look who that is," Amber said. "It's Logan, Chris, and Spike."
"It sure is," Melissa said, surprised. "I wonder why they're here."
"Those boys help out around here all the time," Gus informed them. "They're our junior volunteers."
As the tournament started, the girls watched Betty Jenkins push a yellow disk from her end of the court toward the triangle at the other end. The disk stopped on the line between the ten-point space and an eight-point space. That meant no points. The other player, a dark-haired woman a little taller than Betty, wearing bright-pink capris and a flowered shirt, took her shot with the black disk, which landed inside the seven-point space. Betty's next disk pushed the black disk off the seven-point space, but once again, it landed on a line. A man with a movie camera seemed to be catching all the action on film. Amber wondered if he was from the television station in Marshallville.
"That's Clarisse's husband, Hank." Gus seemed to be reading her thoughts. "He got a new video camera last Christmas. He hardly goes anywhere without it. Hank certainly wouldn't miss Clarisse's big moment if she finally beats Betty at shuffleboard."
Play continued until each shooter had used her four disks. Betty had seven points. But Clarisse had fifteen. The two women walked to the opposite end of the court where Spike had lined up the disks again in the starting position.
When there was a break in the tournament play, the girls went over to talk to Betty. "It's so nice to have you girls here today. You are sweet to give up your Saturday morning like this."
"It's been fun watching you play," Amber said. "How is it going?"
"Clarisse Anderson is a very good shooter," Betty said. "She has me by eight points, but I still have a chance to win."
"We're cheering for you," Melissa said.
"Quietly," Laura added.
"Yes, I should have warned you that spectators have to be quiet."
The girls returned to their seats for the second half of the tournament. Logan, Chris, and Spike were busy putting the disks at the starting point. When they had finished, they walked over to where the girls were seated.
"How do you like watching shuffleboard?" Logan asked.
"It's a little bit boring to watch," Melissa said. "It might be more fun if we were helping like you guys."
"Yeah," Spike said. "We help out here a lot. In fact, we're three handy guys."
"You don't have to brag about it," Melissa scolded.
"He's not bragging," Chris told her. "That's what we call ourselves. It's on our flyer on the bulletin board inside the senior center. We're Three Handy Guys. When a senior needs our help, he calls us up. We wash windows, mow lawns, and rake leaves. In the winter, we even shovel snow. We do the things that are hard for seniors to do for themselves."
"Do they pay you?" Laura asked.
"No," Chris responded. "We do it for free. We do it because we like helping."
"It started as a Boy Scout project," Logan explained. "Our troop did some work around the senior center. That was when we realized there are a lot of seniors living in Bluesky, and they need our help."
"We do that too," Amber said. "Last Saturday, we pulled weeds for Betty Jenkins."
"Do you have a name and a flyer like we do?" Spike asked.
"Not yet," Laura said, "but we're going to."
"You could call yourselves Three Useless Girls," Spike laughed.
Just then, Gus came over and asked them to be quiet.
By the end of the tournament, Betty was still ten points behind. She congratulated her opponent on the win and came over to where the girls were waiting for her.
"You played a good game," Amber said. "It was really close."
"Clarisse is a good player," Betty said. "I've been lucky before, but I think she's been practicing a lot. She told me she was going to win, and she did."
"Will you get a chance for a rematch?" Laura asked.
"We have one more tournament next month," Betty said. "We'll see what happens then."
Betty headed into the senior center for lunch, and the girls walked to their bikes. Gus waved to them from across the lawn. "See you later, alligator," he called to them.
"Bye, see you later," the girls shouted back with a wave.

A Rocky Start: Chapter Three Continued
After lunch, they all sat around for a while, letting their food digest, and planned the football game. Kyle had already marked off the goal lines at each end of the field. Before they began, he reminded everyone of the rules,
"This is tag football, no tackling allowed. Tagging means tapping someone on the back with both hands. The quarterback stands at one goal line and passes the ball to someone on his team. The other team tries to block the pass or intercept it. If the ball is caught, the player can say 'down.' Then no one can tag him. The person catching the ball can run with it. If he is tagged, the ball is down at the spot where he was tagged. If a team makes a touchdown or if there are four downs with no touchdown, the other team takes over at the other end of the field."
"Do you really think it's fair to make your mother and Amber play against the two of us?" John asked Kyle.
"What do you mean, make us?" Mary scolded. "What makes you think we won't beat you?"
"Is this girls against guys?" Mrs. Jenkins asked. "I can throw a pretty mean football."
"What about running?" Amber asked, concerned.
"You said the quarterback stands at the goal line," Mrs. Jenkins reminded her. "Let me be the quarterback. You'll see."
The girls took the ball first, with Mrs. Jenkins on the goal line. Amber ran out for a pass, and Mrs. Jenkins threw a bomb right to her. Amber caught it and said, "Down." There was a short delay in the game as Mrs. Jenkins walked to a new position downfield. Amber threw the ball to her mother, who managed to run a few feet before Kyle tagged her. From there, she threw a short pass to Amber, which didn't advance the ball very far. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Mrs. Jenkins who was now in the end zone. Amber faked a pass to her mother, but instead threw it to Mrs. Jenkins who made a beautiful catch for a touchdown.
Both John and Kyle were wearing shocked looks on their faces as they realized what had happened. Just then, Kyle noticed Logan Green walking by.
"Hey, Logan, want to play tag football? We need some help. The women are beating us."
Logan looked at the three victors cheering and high-fiving each other in the end zone. "Sure," he said. "Where do you want me to play?"
Logan was a student in Amber's class, but she hadn't really talked to him very much. He was usually quiet in class and mostly talked to his friends Chris and Spike during lunch or recess. Amber knew that Logan was very organized and always prepared for class. The teacher called on him a lot, and he usually had the right answer.
Now that the guys had the ball, they showed no mercy. Kyle threw the ball to John, who threw it sideways to Logan, who ran it in for a touchdown. The girls just stood there, unable to do anything about it. Then Mary was the quarterback. She told Amber to run out for a pass. Amber was running backward, not really seeing where she was going. Her mother saw it first and tried to yell, but it was too late. When Amber hit the mud, she couldn't stay on her feet. Slipping and sliding, she let out a yell. That brought Domino to his feet, and within seconds, he was loose from where Kyle had him tied up. As Amber landed seat-first in the mud, Domino pounced on her with his muddy paws.
At first the others stared in shock, but when they were sure Amber was okay, they started laughing. Amber got up and headed for the restroom without even looking their way. That was the end of the football game. At least it ended in a tie.
"You're a pretty good football player, Mrs. Jenkins," John was saying as Amber returned from the restroom.
"Call me Betty," she said. "I raised three boys, so I played a lot of football in my day."
"Where are your boys now?" Mary asked.
"Calvin lives in Oakland, California. He's a stockbroker and has two boys of his own. Sam is in the air force, stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson. Robert is a chef in a fancy restaurant in San Francisco. He has three children, two girls and a boy."
"You must really miss them," Mary commented.
"They visit when they can. At least they aren't that far away. My husband, Paul, and I moved here when he retired. After Paul passed away, I thought of moving closer to one of my sons, but I like living in Bluesky."
John offered Betty a ride home, but she said it was just a short walk to her house. Amber, now passably clean, asked if she could walk with Betty.
"Come straight home after that," Mary told her. "I don't want you out after dark."
"I will," Amber assured her.
"I can't believe you made that catch!" Amber exclaimed as the two walked along.
"I wasn't sure I could stay on my feet," Betty said. "It was sort of a one-handed catch."
"Well, at least we scored," Amber said enthusiastically. "If I hadn't fallen in the mud, we might have won."
"I'm pretty sure the guys weren't going to let that happen. Anyway, we made a decent showing."
"That was so embarrassing in front of Logan."
"I think he likes you," Betty said.
"Logan? Why would you say that?" Amber asked.
"He was looking at you a lot. But the main reason is that when you fell in the mud, he was the only one who didn't laugh."
"He was probably too disgusted to laugh. He probably never had something like that happen to him in his life!"
"I think you might be surprised," Betty went on. "Everybody has things like that happen from time to time."
"Not as often as I do," Amber sighed. "You must have been good at sports when you were younger."
"I played softball in high school," Betty told her. "Now my sport is shuffleboard."
"Really?" Amber looked surprised. "I've never heard of shuffleboard. Where do you play it?"
"Come around to the Bluesky Senior Center at ten o'clock next Saturday," Betty invited. "You can cheer me on in the shuffleboard tournament."
"I'll ask my mom," Amber assured her. "If she says it's okay, I'll be there."

Meet Betty Jenkins
October 7, 2014 rosemaryheddens	Leave a comment
The first senior you will meet in A Rocky Start is Betty Jenkins and you meet her as Amber does on the second page. She is having trouble retrieving her newspaper from the bushes and asks Amber for help. That's the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Betty is a retired mail carrier who moved from Kansas to Bluesky with her husband Paul. When Paul passed away, Betty made the decision to remain in Bluesky. She has three sons. Calvin is a stockbroker in Oakland, California and has three boys. Sam is in the air force, stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Robert, who has two girls and a boy, is a chef in San Francisco.
Amber and Betty quickly develop a strong bond, due partly to their mutual love of art. Betty has a small studio behind her house where she paints landscapes. She sells a few of her paintings, but she gives many of them away. Amber is also drawn to Betty because Betty accepts and supports Amber as she is. While Amber's family is loving and supportive, they can sometimes be a little overbearing. Betty is more likely to help Amber find her own way through situations.
There are two things Betty is famous for in Bluesky. First is her special chocolate chip cookies. She has a secret ingredient that she never tells to anyone–well, maybe just one person. The other thing Betty is famous for is shuffleboard. She invites Amber to her shuffleboard match at the senior center. Amber brings her friends along to cheer for Betty. Not only do they learn about shuffleboard, but they also discover the opportunity to become junior volunteers.
Betty is the best example of "love your neighbor." When Doris Duncan hurts her back, Betty is right there to lend a hand. In this way, she is a role model to the Handy Helpers. Mary Snyder's failed attempts at planting a garden lead her to enlist the help of Betty's green thumb. Betty is there, hoe in hand, to lead the Snyders toward a bountiful garden.
It is Betty's sense of humor that draws others–including the Handy Helpers–to her. She has a talent for lightening up any situation. When Amber has a mishap with her spinach salad, Betty tells a funny story on herself to make Amber feel better. Betty is the kind of friend and neighbor everyone would wish to have.

Anatomy forms the basis of clinical examination, surgery and radiology and it is therefore essential that a fundamental understanding of the key concepts, structures and their relationships is gained by medical and healthcare students during their undergraduate training. Anatomy involves the study of three dimensional entities relating to the human body itself and its constituent structures. In our experience, the appreciation of 3D concepts is one of the most demanding areas for medical student learning of anatomy (ben Awadh et al. 2018, unpublished observations). The ability to interpret 3D anatomical features in 2D cross-sectional clinical images can be troublesome, while the dynamic nature of embryological development is a further challenge.
The aim of introducing technology enhanced-learning (TEL) approaches into our practice is with a view to enhancing undergraduate medical student learning of clinically relevant anatomy. Here we will explore the importance of visualisation and visual learning in anatomy as a scholarly basis for the integration for TEL approaches. We will then describe examples of visualisation technologies that are currently being implemented within the School of Medical Education at Newcastle University based on a research informed understanding of how students learn anatomy. We will consider the available evidence that supports best practice, identify limitations where they arise, and discuss how these visual 3D learning technologies can be effectively utilised as adjuncts and self-directed resources to supplement more established approaches to undergraduate anatomy education.
The authors would like to acknowledge Prof Susan Lindsay, Dr Jill Clark and Dr Gavin Clowry as co-supervisors of the doctoral project of Abdullah ben Awadh. We would like to acknowledge Newcastle University Stage 4 MBBS student selected component project students Christien Li, Christopher Kui, Elgin Lee and Sze Yi Beh for their contribution to 3D printing projects and Dillukshen Muralitharan for contribution to an Alioscopy project. We would like to acknowledge previous Newcastle University vacation research students Jordan Ng Cheong Chung, Gokulan Suthermaraj and Megan Powell for their contribution to Sectra and clinical image interpretation projects. We would also like to acknowledge Sectra, Alioscopy and Raise3D for providing images and technical information.

If This Is Peak Inflation, What's the Path Back to 2%?
Brian Chappatta
9:08 PM IST, 10 Dec 2021 2:36 AM IST, 10 Dec 2021 9:08 PM IST, 10 Dec 2021 2:36 AM IST, 10 Dec 2021
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- After the consumer price index data for October shocked markets, economists, the Biden administration and Federal Reserve officials, there was no chance the Labor Department's release of November's CPI on Friday would catch anyone unaware. Its proximity to the central bank's coming decision only added to the suspense on what was dubbed "the new jobs day."
The top-line takeaway — that headline U.S. CPI rose at the fastest annual pace since 1982 — was never really in doubt. Instead, the more pressing question was whether inflation would keep up its blistering month-over-month increases, which, in Fed Chair Jerome Powell's estimation, were supposed to have subsided. Instead, sharply higher prices across the board came roaring back in October, leading him to acknowledge in a conspicuous pivot that "it's probably a good time to retire" the word "transitory."
The swift acceleration in consumer prices continued last month. Headline CPI jumped 6.8% in November from a year earlier and 0.8% from October. Those figures were both about in line with estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, climbed 4.9% from 12 months ago, matching expectations, and 0.5% from October.
The initial reaction across markets — U.S. stock futures higher, Treasury yields lower — suggested some relief that inflation didn't smash through estimates again. If the data came in as hot as before, CPI would have exceeded 7% and the core measure would have topped 5%. Still, matching expectations for the fastest consumer price growth in almost 40 years isn't exactly a victory for policy makers or American workers. Friday's data also provided a reminder that real average hourly earnings fell 1.9% from 12 months earlier.
Most economists agree that U.S. inflation is likely at or near its peak, with Bloomberg Economics expecting headline CPI to hover around 7% for several months, while the core measure may top out February or March around 5.5% to 6%. Even President Joe Biden on Thursday made a point to emphasize that "in the weeks since the data for tomorrow's inflation report was collected, energy prices have dropped." The pressing question, then, is how will it get back to the roughly 2% level that the Fed targets for price stability?
The most recent Bloomberg survey of economists shows an expectation for headline CPI to retreat to 3.7% in 2022 and then 2.3% in 2023, while the personal consumption expenditures index will slip to 3.2% and 2.2% in the next two years. In that same survey, respondents on average didn't see the Fed raising interest rates until December 2022, and then three more times throughout 2023, which is roughly consistent with the path that central bankers sketched out in September.
That reflects remarkable confidence in inflation auto-correcting without much immediate Fed action. But the central bank will update its "dot plot" next week — and some are expecting big changes. Earlier this week, former New York Fed President Bill Dudley wrote a Bloomberg Opinion column detailing why he expects policy makers will forecast a median of three interest-rate increases next year, four more in 2023, and then a few more in 2024 to bring the fed funds rate to its long-run neutral level of 2.5%. Typically, once the central bank starts tightening, it keeps going until the fed funds rate is above the level of inflation.
I'm not convinced that Fed officials will rush to pencil in three interest-rate increases in 2022, up from less than one in its September forecast, especially after abruptly speeding up its tapering pace. More likely, the median will show two rate increases in 2022, leaving policy makers flexibility to move as soon as March if necessary, at which point they could lift their outlook for the rest of the year.
The risk to this gradual approach is that it could do little to nothing to alter the trajectory of inflation. It's true that as Biden mentioned, there's been some easing in energy costs, which should help suppress headline CPI. But just as that starts to fade, housing is starting to cause headaches. Rent and what's known as "owners' equivalent rent" both increased 0.4% in November from a month earlier, which comes out to an almost 5% annual rate.
According to David Wilcox of Bloomberg Economics, a former director of the Fed's division of research and statistics, it might only get worse. The main parts of CPI that measure housing costs, which represent almost one-third of the overall index value, could be in the 6% to 7% range by the middle of next year, the highest in three decades. "Short of tanking the economy, there is little policy makers could do to prevent today's increases in asking rents from feeding into headline inflation," Wilcox wrote this week. "Their job will be to block a one-time increase in rents from stoking an ongoing process. That could necessitate larger rate increases."
The Fed's stated policy is to raise interest rates when inflation is at 2% and also "on track to moderately exceed 2% for some time." Even if CPI is at or near its peak around 7%, that's a long way from the stated level that's consistent with price stability. Does the Fed get there with more aggressive action in the first half of 2022, when its three-part test to leave the zero lower bound will clearly have been met? Or, as it has for most of this year, will Powell and his colleagues talk a good game about how price growth will eventually slow without actually doing much of anything to tighten monetary policy?
Both paths are fraught with peril. The best thing the Fed could do would be to remain nimble. The quick pivot on its tapering pace in recent weeks was a good start, but lining up rate hikes will be a much tougher task.

Don't blame Intel for this. In The City Art School In The Midnight Hour Sounds From The Street Disc 5 — DVD 1. In The City Polydor promo — 2. Art School Polydor promo — 3.
Glad i sold my DE of sound affects and SDEs of the gift and setting sons, just in case they decide to expand and rerelease any of them. I wonder if there will be a The Jam set next year? What next for The Jam…. I confess I am getting pretty confused as to what exists, and what recordings are on what releases. I think the Weller shop and Recordstore are all part of the same company. The CDs though come here all 5 at one of the inner sleevesides of the book on a plastic tray, meaning that one disc sits on top of the four others, which regarding scratches is surely not for serious collectors.
The audio was remastered. As far as i know the Ear-Book includes exactly the same CDs as the first version, so no new remastering for that. Seems to me like the last of the deluxe album reissues that started some years ago. Just curious — Does the group here think that this is the first in reissue campaign or a one off set? I too am trying to figure out my future Jam collection purchases. For most of their career The Jam were my favourite band in the world; storming singles, fabulous albums, searing live shows.
This is a must buy for me… so I just did. One of these days the missus is gonna twig that my music collection keeps getting bigger and bigger and our savings get smaller and smaller. Thank you for all the anwsers, that were all pointing to the same product so it was an easy choice :. Do recordstore charge straight away? Or like amazon only when order shipped?
Would like the box and print but a bit cash strapped today!! Now showing as not available on recordstore. My order has been confirmed though. Are you watching Kate? Knock it on one year, two albums, Live — could just about squeeze Hammersmith in and some demos and TV performances…. Final Fantasy 7. Shadow of the Colossus. Hotline Miami 1 and 2. The list of all-time great game soundtracks stretches far into the horizon after so many decades of talented musicians lending their works to the world of gaming.
I really, truly believe that Moon: Remix RPG Adventure's soundtrack belongs among the most elite company in the pantheon of gaming soundtracks. I'd put it in my Top 10 of all time, easily.

Pentium Dual-Core processors based on the Core microarchitecture use the Allendale and Wolfdale -3M designs for desktop processors and Merom -2M for mobile processors.
In , Intel changed the naming system for Pentium processors, renaming the Wolfdale-3M based processors to Pentium , without the Dual-Core name, and introduced new single- and dual-core processors based on Penryn under the Pentium name.
The Nehalem microarchitecture was introduced in late as a successor to the Core microarchitecture, and in early , a new Pentium G processor based on the Clarkdale design was introduced based on the Westmere refresh of Nehalem, which were followed by the mobile P6xxx based on Arrandale a few months later.
On January 7, , Intel launched a new Pentium model using the Clarkdale chip in parallel with other desktop and mobile CPUs based on their new Westmere microarchitecture. The first model in this series is the Pentium G The Sandy Bridge microarchitecture was released in the Pentium line on May 22, All are dual-core and have no hyper-threading or Turbo Boost.
Several Haswell-based Pentium processors were released in , among them the G "Anniversary Edition", first released in by Intel to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the line. As with prior-generation Pentium processors, Haswell and Haswell Refresh-based parts have two cores only, lack support for hyper-threading, and use the LGA socket form factor.

Even though they do not use the Pentium name, Intel also manufactures other processors based on the Pentium series for other markets. Most of these processors share the core design with one of the Pentium processor lines, usually differing in the amount of CPU cache , power efficiency or other features. The notable exception is the Atom line, which is an independent design. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Redirected from Pentium family.

Biden says he supports filibuster carve-out for voting rights
By Kyle Blaine and Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN
Mhm. Yeah, I've never seen anything like the unrelenting assault and the right to vote. Never. I don't think any of you have on this stage ever seen. Not a joke. And folks? Yeah, it was. John Lewis said. It is the only without the right to vote. There is no democracy. We've supported Democrats fighting for voting rights bill since day one of our administration, making sure that we have unanimous support among Democrats in the Senate, which we do. But each and every time it gets to be brought up, that other team blocks the ability even to start to discuss it. That other team, it used to be called the Republican Party, but this battle is not over. We must pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We must. We're going to keep up the fight until we get it done and you're going to keep up the fight and we need your help badly. You can defeat it, but you can't eliminate it. It just slides back under a rock. And when given oxygen by political leaders, it comes out ugly and mean as it was before. We can't give it any oxygen. We have to step on it. We have to respond to it. It's not who we are, it's a minority. But if the majority doesn't speak up, it has a profound impact. That's what we've seen the last few years. We cannot. We must not give hate any safe harbor. We have to shine. The brighter the light as we can. And that's the other one disinfectant. Call it out and you're going to be the light. You're going to have to be the light.
President Joe Biden says he supports making an exception to the Senate filibuster rules in order to pass voting rights legislation."If the only thing standing between getting voting rights legislation passed and not getting passed is the filibuster, I support making the exception of voting rights for the filibuster," Biden told ABC News' David Muir in an interview that aired Thursday morning.It's the most direct answer Biden has given on his position on the filibuster and voting rights.CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Biden at a CNN town hall in October, "When it comes to voting rights, just so I'm clear though, you would entertain the notion of doing away with the filibuster on that one issue, is that correct?""And maybe more," Biden responded.Since Democrats won a slim majority in Congress, Republicans have blocked several Democratic-sponsored bills that seek to expand voting access and aim to end voter suppression, arguing that the proposals are a federal power grab. That's led some progressive Democrats and activists to demand an end to the filibuster rule, which requires 60 votes to advance most legislation, in order to pass federal voting rights protections. But Democrats also don't have the votes they need in the Senate to change the filibuster due to opposition from members of their own party, including from Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.Now, with Republican-led state legislators planning to push a number of voting restrictions ahead of the crucial 2022 midterms, a new urgency has been injected into the voting rights fight.In a letter sent to Democratic colleagues dated Monday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the Senate will consider voting rights legislation once Congress resumes in January, "as early as the first week back."He also suggested that the Senate would consider a vote on changing the filibuster rules."If Senate Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster and prevent the body from considering this bill, the Senate will then consider changes to any rules which prevent us from debating and reaching final conclusion on important legislation," the New York Democrat said.Biden, who was previously a longtime U.S. senator, has resisted efforts to eliminate the filibuster altogether.He told CNN's Don Lemon during a town hall in July that there would be "no reason" to protect the filibuster "other than you're going to throw the entire Congress into chaos and nothing will get done."And at CNN's town hall in October, Biden said that attempting to eliminate the filibuster would hamper his chances of passing his economic agenda. Biden had previously proposed that the Senate return to a "talking filibuster," a rule requiring a senator who wants to block legislation to hold the floor without breaks, but still requires 60 votes to end debate on the bill.Meanwhile, Biden has vowed to "keep up the fight" to pass voting legislation and urged Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, neither of which have a realistic chance of garnering the 10 Republican votes necessary to break a filibuster.

If memory serves well, the Diamond Blade knife line was initially exhibited at the 2006 SCI Convention, held in Reno, Nevada. The demand for the knives at that showing was so great that the company had a difficult time keeping its booth stocked. The real exciting aspect of the Diamond Blade knives was that the science behind this new knife line was the first real advancement in blade creation seen in many decades. At last, hunters could have both unrivalled sharpness and amazing edge retention in an edged tool that was tough enough to withstand the rigors of actual field use.
For those of you unfamiliar with the unique nature of Diamond Blade edged tools, they differ from the competition and how their actual creation came about. Several years before the knives made their initial appearance, Charles Allen, the owner of Knives of Alaska, thought that adding actual diamond bits to a basic steel formulation would enhance the cutting ability of knife blades made from steel. However, the process of steel manufacture actually turned the diamonds into simple carbon, which invalidated the whole theoretical concept.
Moving forward, Allen became intrigued with the friction forging process used in the oil industry that welds pipes together seamlessly. Experimenting with friction forging several different blade steel formulas, only D2 tool steel exhibited the increased performance Allen was seeking. Using a manufacturing process that combines both rotational heat and extreme pressure, the internal granular nature of the edge zone of a D2 blade is transformed in such a way that it becomes incredibly hard, and the contained chromium saturates the forged zone so that it becomes totally stainless.
While edge hardness in a knife blade is desirable, overall blade brittleness is not. Allen finally was able to produce a differentially heat-treated blade that combines an overall tough blade with a Rockwell hardness of Rc43-45, but with an edge zone featuring an enhanced hardness of Rc 65-68. Testing exhibited unparalleled performance with blades bent to more than 45-degrees from center without breaking or cracking. Likewise, the same blades are able to cut through hanging Manila rope easily and retain their edges even after repeated use.
Fast forward a dozen or so years and several Diamond Blade models, Allen decided to honor the memory of Robert "Bob" Loveless, one of the true legendary knife makers of the later half of the past century with the creation of one of his most desirable knife patterns. The result is a fixed blade knife known as the Heritage, that features a 3 1/2-inch drop-point pattern blade (Loveless is responsible for popularizing this particular blade shape), single guard, mosaic pins and your choice of handle materials (stag, Micarta, desert ironwood, ram horn, molded G-10 or a rubberized Sure Grip material), with a top grain, vegetable tanned, oiled leather sheath (Kydex lined). While a similar model bearing the original Loveless trademark will cost the buyer several thousand dollars, the new Diamond Blade version of the same knife runs $325 to $399 (depending on handle material choice) and offers both sharpness and edge retention well beyond anything Loveless ever imagined.
My own experience with this particular Diamond Blade model, as well as the knife line in general, has proven that these knives are "scary sharp" and they can hold that edge through repeated usage. Recently, I was able to participate in an elk hunt with the folks at Oak Stone Outfitters near Paso Robles, California. After two days of hard hunting, owner/operator Chad Wiebe was able to put hunter Mike Schultz on a fine 7×7 Tule elk. Since Chad Wiebe is not only a licensed guide, but also a professional taxidermist, his experience with various edged tools is second to none. During the time Chad used the knife to skin the elk, he repeatedly remarked on the superiority of its edge and how well that edge held up over time. Not once did Chad have to sharpen the knife. After the job was done, he wiped the blade clean and said, "This is the finest knife I've ever used." Obviously, that is a great recommendation from a seasoned hunting professional.

«Первобы́тный» () — анимационный сериал режиссёра Геннди Тартаковского, транслирующийся с 8 октября 2019 года на канале Cartoon Network в блоке Adult Swim. В 2019 году вышло 6 эпизодов из 10. Оставшиеся эпизоды появились в эфире в первой половине 2020 года. Первые 4 серии сериала были скомпилированы в полнометражный анимационный фильм Primal: Tales of Savagery, который вышел в ограниченный прокат в сентябре 2019 года, и был выдвинут в лонг-лист кинопремии «Оскар» в категории «Лучший анимационный фильм», однако не вошёл в окончательный состав номинатов. «Первобытный» получил высокие оценки критиков.

Мультфильм повествует о совместном выживании и приключениях пещерного человека по имени Копьё и самки тираннозавра по кличке Клык, чья коммуникация происходит без единого диалога. Появлению сериала способствовал успех последнего сезона мультсериала «Самурай Джек», созданного Тартаковским. Это заставило режиссёра обратиться к своей старой идее детского шоу о приключениях человека и динозавра, но переработать её в более взрослую и мрачную историю.

Сюжет
Действие сериала происходит в вымышленную доисторическую эпоху, где в одном мире сосуществуют пещерные люди, динозавры и другие вымершие животные, например, мамонты. Мультфильм повествует о совместном выживании и приключениях первобытного человека по имени Спир (или Копьё ()) и самки тираннозавра по кличке Фанг (или Клык ()), которые становятся союзниками после совместной схватки с динозаврами, убившими их семьи. В сериале отсутствуют реплики персонажей, в том числе пещерного человека, поэтому в ходе сюжета их имена не называются. Однако так их условились именовать создатели мультфильма. Например, имена героев указаны в заметках к раскадровке сериала.

Создание

Идея
После завершения работы над анимационным сериалом «Самурай Джек», особенностью которого является редкое использование диалогов, Геннди Тартаковский задумался о создании новой истории в той же повествовательной технике. На это повлиял тот факт, что последний сезон мультсериала, в отличие от предыдущих, выходил в блоке передач Adult Swim, предназначенный для взрослой аудитории, и отличался более сложным и мрачным повествованием, что нашло положительный отклик у зрителей. Сезон также отличился высокими рейтингами — в среднем 1,36 миллионов телезрителей на один эпизод.

Тогда Тартаковский обратился к своей старой идее детского мультсериала, пришедшей ему примерно в начале 2010-х годов, о ребёнке с длинными волосами, который ездит верхом на динозавре, путешествует вместе с ним, переживая различные приключения. Однако режиссёр переосмыслил эту концепцию и придумал историю о дружбе пещерного человека и тираннозавра, чья коммуникация проходит без единого слова. Вдохновением ему послужила серия произведений о Конане писателя Роберта Говарда, которая впечатлила режиссёра увлекательностью и эмоциональностью при сравнительной простоте сюжета. Тартаковский изначально планировал снять анимационную короткометражку, однако исполнительный продюсер Adult Swim Майк Лаццо () разглядел в идее потенциал для создания полнометражной работы или телевизионного шоу, и было принято решение о производстве мультсериала.

По задумке Тартаковского, формула отсутствия диалогов и неторопливого повествования необходима для полного погружения зрителя в историю. По наблюдению режиссёра, люди часто едят за просмотром шоу или проводят время в социальных сетях, поэтому в современной мультипликации вовлечение зрителя достигается путём увеличения интенсивности происходящего на экране. Подобная «атака на чувства», цитируя Тартаковского, не даёт ему как зрителю «расслабиться» за просмотром. В противовес современным приёмам отсутствие диалогов в «Первобытном» вынуждает зрителей следить за происходящим на экране тем, что, отвлекаясь, у них не будет возможности понять, что происходит в сериале. Однако, по словам Тартаковского, воплощение подобной идеи невозможно при конкуренции в современной телевизионной мультипликации. Выход сериала стал возможен только благодаря многолетнему сотрудничеству режиссёра с каналом Cartoon Network в проектах «Лаборатория Декстера», «Самурай Джек», «Войны клонов» и других.

Производство
При создании визуального стиля авторы вдохновлялись иллюстрациями 1970-х годов в жанре научной фантастики: работами художников Фрэнка Фразетты и Мёбиуса. Также влияние оказали , анимационные фильмы «Волшебники» и «Бэмби». Работа над проектом производилась в калифорнийской анимационной студии Cartoon Network Studios и в парижской «Studio La Cachette». При работе над анимацией использовались программы TVPaint, Photoshop и инструменты сжатия MPEG-4 AFX. Всего над проектом было задействовано около 40 человек. Кроме Геннди Тартаковского в роли сценаристов выступили Дэвид Кренц () и Дон Шэнк ().

Выбрав художественный стиль, напоминающий комиксы, создатели при этом предпочли реалистичный тон для повествования. Такой подход заставил команду отказаться от гротескных выражений морды динозавра и использовать иные визуальные приёмы для передачи его эмоций. Помощь в этом Тартаковскому оказало наблюдение за своим сенбернаром, так как, по мнению режиссёра, животные способны передавать эмоции без помощи мимики. Значительную роль в визуализации играет цветовая нагрузка сцен. Сочетания цветов и их интенсивность служат для рассказа истории и передачи эмоционального состояния героев. Данная задача стояла перед художником-постановщиком Скоттом Уиллсом () и художником фонов Кристианом Шеллевальдом (). Та же цель была у музыки и звуковых эффектов, что становятся особо важны при отсутствии диалогов. Композиторами выступили Тайлер Бэйтс и Джоан Хиггинботтом (). Говоря об удачном исполнении повествовательной техники, Тартаковский приводил пример того, как он ездил в офис Adult Swim, в Атланту, чтобы впервые продемонстрировать Майку Лаццо готовый эпизод. По словам режиссёра, перед началом просмотра продюсер взял в руки кусочек пиццы, но так и не попробовал его до самого конца серии, просто держа кусочек в руках в течение 20 минут.

На первоначальном этапе отрисовки контура и добавления цветов изображение крови было временно залито стандартным красным цветом. Такой оттенок был слишком ярким для неё, однако Тартаковский и Скотт Уиллс решили оставить этот цвет, увидев в нём схожесть со стилистикой кинематографа 1970-х, самурайских боевиков и фильмов о боевых искусствах, которые использовали ярко-красный цвет для бутафорской крови.

Несмотря на отсутствие диалогов персонажи мультфильма издают разнообразные звуки. Рычание Клыка создал саунд-дизайнер сериала Джоэл Валентайн (). Он также работал над звуковым сопровождением остальных существ и старался подбирать наиболее уникальные звуки, используя для этого малоизвестные аудиобиблиотеки. Например, для озвучивания чудовищ из четвёртого эпизода Валентайн применил коллекцию звуков, изображающих крики монстров, записанную в середине XX века в Германии. Для озвучивания мамонтов дизайнер нашёл и купил библиотеку с настоящими звуками слонов, записанную неким энтузиастом в Индии на средства, собранные через Kickstarter-кампанию. С актёром озвучившим Копьё, Аароном Лапланте (), Тартаковский познакомился при работе над отменённым анимационным фильмом о моряке Попае, в котором Аарон был утверждён на роль главного злодея — . Режиссёр был впечатлён актёрской игрой Лапланте и впоследствии пригласил его работать над «Первобытным». Как правило, процесс озвучивания происходит до работы над анимацией, и её тайминг определяется готовой озвучкой. Однако Тартаковский посчитал важным, чтобы в «Первобытном» тайминг был рассчитан на стадии рисования, поэтому Лапланте озвучил Копьё уже поверх готовой анимации крика и ворчания персонажа, подстраиваясь под нарисованные движения губ.

Второй сезон
Вместе со вторым сезоном Тартаковкий хотел переосмыслить формулу сериала или как он образно выразился — «сломать» сюжет. Если первый сезон — это серия захватывающих историй о Копье и Клык, путешествующих во враждебном диком мире среди вымерших животных, то второй сезон смещает акцент на истории развития человечества эпохи бронзового века, это по мнению автора странно чувствовалось для сериала. Поэтому например автор хотел, чтобы зритель привык к изменениям, например первая серия в целом выдержана в духе первого сериала, затем с каждой следующей серией акцент на природе и выживании смещается в сторону всё более явных элементов человеческой цивилизации. Второй сезон рассказывает одну цельную историю, поделённую на 10 серий. Тартаковский хотел ввести более сложную сюжетную линию, он признался, что был горд проделанной работой. Изначально сюжет второго сезона должен был войти во вторую часть арки первого сезона, но тогда у Тартаковского появилось слишком много идей для сюжета, чтобы вместить их в два разных сезона. Автор сам лично увлекается ранней историей человечества, в частности он мечтал изобразить в мультфильме племя пиктов. Изображение эпохи бронзового века подразумевает и изображение ранних цивилизаций, похожих например на древнеегипетскую, при этом Тартаковский не хотел воссоздавать известные и стереотипные образы, стремясь оригинальным образом изобразить культуры бронзового века, например избегая образов фараона и рабов, для этого он изучал историю реальных древних культур, черпая от туда интересные и малоизвестные факты.

При всём этом Копьё и Клык по прежнему играют центральную роль в сюжете. Перемещение первобытного человека в мир более развитых сородичей стал интересным сюжетным поворотом: каково пещерному человеку чувствовать себя в цивилизованном мире? как это чувство можно передать без диалогов? Тартаковский назвал это очень сложной и экзистенциальной дилеммой для героя и он приложил все усилия, чтобы переживания героя также поняли и прочувствовали зрители. Хотя Копьё встречается со множеством разных людей, Тартаковский по прежнему придерживался принципа передачи сюжета без диалогов. Тем не менее это гораздо сложнее сделать, когда речь идёт о людях, а не диком мире, решением проблемы становится грамотная передача мимики и экспозиции. Тем не менее в одном из эпизодов, Тартаковскому пришлось сломать табу на речь, так как это был единственный способ передать сюжетный посыл.

Тартаковский заявил, что в случае успеха второго сезона, он заинтересован создавать новые сезоны, смешивая самые разные эпохи и жанры, где Копьё и Клык попадают во всё более необычные ситуации, например в эпоху, аналогичную XX веку, охваченную мировой войной или даже допускает встречу Копья с пришельцами.

Показ

Проект был анонсирован в мае 2019 года вместе с выходом трейлера мультсериала. В июле того же года небольшой фрагмент из первого эпизода был показан на мероприятии San Diego Comic-Con. Первый эпизод «Первобытного» стал доступен для онлайн-просмотра на сайте Adult Swim 4 октября 2019-го, а его премьера на телевидении состоялась на канале Cartoon Network в блоке передач Adult Swim в полночь с 7 на 8 октября. В последующие дни, с 9-го по 12 октября, были показаны ещё четыре эпизода в то же эфирное время. Весь сезон состоит из 10 серий, оставшиеся из которых будут показаны в 2020 году.

Первые пять эпизодов сериала были скомпилированы в полнометражный анимационный фильм Primal: Tales of Savagery. Он был выдвинут в лонг-лист кинопремии «Оскар» в категории «Лучший анимационный фильм». Однако мультфильм не вошёл в список номинатов. По условиям кинопремии, номинироваться может картина, которая выходила в прокат в кинотеатрах Лос-Анджелеса в течение семи дней и более. Для соблюдения этого критерия анимационный фильм выходил ограниченным прокатом в лос-анджелесском кинотеатре «Downtown Independent» с 20-го по 26 сентября 2019 года. Также он выходил в прокат в Нью-Йорке.

21 июля 2022 года состоялась премьера второго сезона, где главный герой и Клык отправляются в заморские земли, чтобы спасти рабыню Миру.
